Real Wedding: Megan and John

Over the past few months we've been hoping to start featuring more real weddings and are so excited to be able to share today's post with you. Megan and John, high school sweethearts (from our very own alma mater!) were married just a few weeks ago down by the beach.  Our friends BJ and Danielle over at Marie James Photography were kind enough to send over some of the fantastic shots from the wedding and the "trash the dress" session.  Megan and John are a fun loving couple and Marie James Photography captured their spirit and lively personalities, making what was surely a gorgeous day even more memorable.  Here are some of our favorite shots from Megan and John's wedding:

Thanks, again, to Marie James Photography and congratulations, John and Megan!  We wish you many years of happiness.

Meet Chanel is 20 years old and was named the oldest dog by Guinness World Records last year, and is capturing the heart of many after her appearance on the Today Show this morning. Check out photos.
Chanel is the world’s oldest dog and a celebrity in her own right. She was born in 1988 and will soon be celebrating her 21st birthday. In dog years that makes her about 147. Her once red hair has turned white, and she needs special doggie glasses for her cataracts. She eats a special diet of boiled chicken, whole wheat pasta, and a special doggie treat for her teeth. She still goes on walks during the summer with her owners, Karl and Denise Shaughnessy, but is carried for most of the way. Long gone are the days where she used to run three miles to keep her figure.

Fourth of July

I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4^th of July!! It’s one of my favorite holidays J This year, I was able to go to the festivities near downtown Houston with a few of my friends to watch the fireworks and hear some live music.  

The cost to get in was just ONE canned good! With over 100,000 expected to attend, we were able to collect lots of food for those who need it!

Of course we all know that there is a BIG reason to celebrate, and it’s not all about the spectacle in the sky. Remembering our troops that have fought and are still fighting for our freedom is what the 4^th is all about for me! My friends and I took the time to write postcards to the soldiers thanking them for their service and wishing them a safe return home!

There were so many people there to celebrate our wonderful country with the city of Houston as the backdrop!

Another wonderful Independence Day!

Color Day: Orange Creamsicle

Favor tags and seating charts and chuppahs, oh my! Jen's mom is getting married this Saturday and things are quite hectic around here what with getting all the little details together.  The details and pictures from that wedding will be coming soon and we're hoping to feature more real weddings in the next few months.  But, until then, here is a sweet and simple color board based on a favorite summer treat, the creamsicle. Pale orange and creamy white lend themselves nicely to a board that is inspired by hot days of summer spent by the pool, eagerly awaiting that familiar tune of the ice cream trunk as it rounds the corner.
